Page-2----- -XHF. BUTE, St WHITS JUNE IN JANUARY June in January, though usually taken in a figurative sense, also has it3 litoral value. A3 we wit in our class rooms during those remaining January days, wo sense in the air a remarkable likeness to early spring. The only traces of heavy frosts seem to be in the very early morning, while the afternoon blossoms into a balmy day. Although we are . prbbably rushing the season a bit, we are somewhat justified by certain obvious indications of spring. '.'e, being our most observant solves, can easily relate a typically realistic scene in and about the high school before the afternoon classes begin. As wo approach the school building, we first notice groups of students who are coatless--some, playing ball some, taking pictures; others, leaning leisurely against the porch talking and laughting. Once in the building and inside a class room, wo glance towards the wind-ows--open windows which seom truly to inhalo refreshing breezes. Close to these open windows are students injoying the first wcl--come signs of the new season. As the afternoon bell rings out the first class, wo settle into our seats with books in hand, but with minds on spring. Now, coming back to the present, -ICtis,,undoubtedly,,tbo much to hope for a continuation of our JUNE in JANUARY, but, as the poet has said, God gave us memories that we might have ♦Roses in December ' .

The problem has become a favorite topic for oditora of magazinos and feature pages. High School students running away from home, hanging around bright-light areas, spending money in a light-hearted oasy come, easy go manner—it all makes for colorful reading. But does it tell the whole story of the impact of war on young people? Wo don't believe so. We receive reports from all types of communities, tolling of students efforts to work, savo arti concerve, so that victory may cocr sooner. Young people are assuming man-sized jobs and responsibilities as their share of the v ar load. We feel that this type of news deserves wider publication than the bright-light stories. While the Fourth War Loan Drive is on, students will double their efforts to buy and sell War Bonds and Stamps. This is one field where students have made, and will continue to make outstanding contribution. N. H. S. will help make Newport's quota 100$ and over. Surely, if the soldier's motto is: We Are Not Too Proud To Fight, then the student's motto should be: We Are Not Too Perverse To Give.
